subject: Let Personal Training Albert Park Fight Obesity [print this page] Obesity has long been regarded by health professionals as a disease and not a mere physical flaw that affects both adults and children. Fighting obesity is important because it is a risk factor of other serious conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, heart attack, diabetes and certain cancers. In addition to eating a healthy diet, children can reduce their weight with personal training. Albert Park children can experience visible results quickly under the guidance of a certified training professional.
Advantages of Personal Training
Development of health habits: Research suggests that overweight children tend to be obese when they reach adult age. A child's chances of becoming an obese adult are reduced by learning healthy habits like avoiding high fat, sugary and salty food and consuming more fruits and vegetables. Encouraging a child to get regular physical activity also promotes weight loss and helps to keep it off permanently. As part of personal training, Albert Park children will follow an exercise plan and undergo nutritional counseling as well.
Improved sports skills: Young children around 8 years old may already perform low-resistance exercises using small weights to build muscle strength. A trainer can provide one-on-one instruction not only to ensure that your child is exercising the right way but also to explore potential signs of a budding athlete.
Learn sports safety: Teaching your child to be physically active must also include guidance while training to reduce his risk of injury. If your child is inclined towards running competitively, make sure that he or she uses a personal trainer to learn how to warm up, stretch, cool down and other important techniques that will increase his performance.
Personal training may be suitable for the following children:
* A child who has a sedentary lifestyle
* One who dislikes organised sports
* One who doesn't enjoy playing sports around lots of people
* One who has a medical condition that requires supervision during exercise
* One who is interested in personal training
The minimum qualifications of a child's trainer include:
* certification from a professional organization
* previous experience in training children
* patience in dealing with children
* development of a balanced program with the right amount and combination of strength, cardio and core exercises
Your child's compatibility with the instructor is important in personal training. Albert Park fitness experts maintain that the best way to verify compatibility is through observation at some trial sessions.
